I've recently been enlightend about harmful effects of too much supplemental vitamin A, including increased risk for osteoporosis. www.vitaminA.org and references address this issue. Has anyone here experienced such problems?

That is one of the possible side effects.

I didn't experience any bone problems or joint pain while taking accutane but I've read that it can cause bone density to decrease.

There is a vitamin A-free multivitamin called ebA Multivitamin that can be taken during Accutane treatment and in people with osteoporosis who may worsen their condition if they ingest too much vitamin A.
